Formula E: Buemi triumphs on streets of Paris

PARIS: Switzerland’s Sebastien Buemi consolidated his lead in the Formula E world championship with victory on the streets of Paris the other Saturday as title rival Lucas di Grassi crashed out.

Buemi, of the Renault E.dams team, finished ahead of Argentina’s Jose Maria Lopez (DS Virgin Racing) and Germany’s Nick Heidfeld (Mahindra) in a race fought out around the picturesque Esplanade des Invalides. Di Grassi, the winner in the French capital last year, crashed into the barriers four laps from home and retired.
